His Mute Princess

Chapter 3

Marinette got ready and headed to school. She still couldn't get the fact that a superhero had visited her out of her head.

Her? Of all people! She felt so honored.

As she walked she bumped into someone. She fell back and looked up. "Well well if it isn't the useless girl, Marinette," Chloe glared down at her. Marinette looked down, feeling ashamed. She was clumsy and she hated it.

"Back off Chloe!" Alya exclaimed walking over to Marinette. She stuck her hand out and helped her up. "Whatever!" Chloe sashayed away.

Marinette continued to look down at the floor. She felt embarrassed. "Hey, don't listen to Chloe. Her opinion is one of the few thing she has that's worthless," she grinned. Mari smiled.

"Let's get to class."

They both walked in, Nino and Adrien were already seated. "Something wrong Alya?" Nino asked her, noticing her facial expression. "Chloe was being a bitch to Marinette," she crossed her arms across her chest.

Adrien turned to Marinette, "Are you ok?" She nodded. He looked at her with a worried expression and she gave him a reassuring smile. He relaxed and both boys turned around.

Marinette took out her notepad and scribbled something on it. She passed it over to Alya.

Something amazing happened yesterday! You won't believe it!

Alya looked at her with excited eyes. "Do tell!"

She took the notepad back and wrote more. She passed it back to Alya and Alya let out a squeal.

Chat Noir went to visit me and took me to see the Eiffel Tower!

The whole class turned to see Alya. "Sorry!" she quickly said. She pulled Marinette down and whispered, "No way! How did that happen?!" Marinette shrugged. She wondered the exact same thing.

Nino turned around and poked Alya, "What's gotten you so happy?" Alya turned to him and whisper-shouted, "Chat Noir went to visit Marinette!" Nino looked at Marinette with wide eyes. "No way dudette! Cool!" Marinette smiled and blushed.

Marinette wrote more.

He's good looking.

Alya looked at her and narrowed her eyes with a smirk, "Someone's got the hots for our famous superhero."

Marinette shoved her a little and pouted, feeling her face get red. Adrien chuckled. "I'm just messing with you!" Alya laughed.

Marinette stuck out her tongue.

Class started and the day went on normally. They had lunch together again. The rest of the week went like that. Adrien, Alya, and Nino all gladly accepted Marinette into their bestfriend group and she was eternally grateful. Her new friends were amazing and she always had a wonderful time with them.

When she would get home, she would always find herself thinking of the superhero dressed in black, shiny leather. She had heard so much from Alya and she wondered about the superhero and his partner.

It seemed like they both came out of nowhere the day the first villain arrived. Seeing both superheroes flying through the city gave her inspiration. She drew numerous clothing designs based on the two heroes.

The weekend finally arrived and she got ready for the fair. It was in the city and Alya suggested they go. At first she wasn't sure if she wanted to go. She didn't really like rides that went fast or in circles. Alya assured her that there were games she could play. With that she agreed.

Marinette had spent the entire day helping her parents set up the bakery and she was covered in dust and dirt. She showered, did some light makeup, let her hair down, and put on a simple beige dress with matching converse.
